Rod Dreher Explains Himself

By Tim Rogers |

If you hadn’t noticed, Rod Dreher is kind of a big deal. So much so that when Mike Hashimoto does a Q&A with him to explain how Dreher does his job at the Morning News, the back-and-forth draws attention from Romenesko. I myself have broken bread with Dreher and consider him a friend (though apparently not a good enough friend to refer to him by first name, which is strange). I’ve fielded the same questions from people that Hashimoto has gotten. In short: “Is Rod really like that in person?” From my experience, no, he’s not. He’s a lot more easygoing than he comes across in print. Certainly more profane. And taller, too. But here’s the way he sums up himself:

“I believe the world is going to hell in a hand basket, but I just want to make sure there’s enough ice around to keep my drink fresh till the end.”
